5 thoughts on “FAILURE – By Brian Rowan”

It’s amazing how history is forgotten.
This did not start in January. It started when the DUP made a pig’s ear of handling the RHI crisis & destroyed the Executive – plucking failure from the jaws of success.
Let’s get the timeline & the causes right.

The two communiities say they want to leave in peace, but there is no evidence to support the notion that either of them want a shared future. Quite the opposite. We need a new model of government which recognises that the two communities want different things. Perhaps something based on Swiss-style cantons? The Swiss have three official languages (and most speak English too) and they manage to rub along peacefully and profitably.

They will have a shared future whether they like it or not. Demographics are inexorable, there will be no NI in 10/15 years. The DUP have squandered their advantages through sheer stupidity and bloody-mindedness. They deserve the place they will assuredly have in the dustbin of history.
